Audio Guide of Escher in The Palace

The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and is located at Lange Voorhout 74, in one of the most beautiful areas of The Hague. I recommend checking holiday hours directly on its official website.

General admission for adults is around €12.50, while children and students receive reduced rates. There are usually no free days, but the museum accepts the Museum Card if you live in the Netherlands; you can buy tickets here to secure your spot.

To enjoy the optical illusions at a relaxed pace and try the interactive exhibits, I suggest setting aside between 60 and 90 minutes. It is the perfect amount of time to explore all three floors without feeling overwhelmed.

You are visiting the former Winter Palace of Queen Mother Emma, which adds a royal atmosphere to the experience. It houses the world's largest collection of works by M.C. Escher, including his famous masterpiece 'Metamorphosis III,' which is 7 meters long.

If you want to take photos in the optical illusion rooms without people waiting behind you, go on a Tuesday or Thursday right at opening time (11:00 a.m.). Weekends and school holidays are usually much more crowded.

Yes, although it is an old palace, the building has been adapted and has an elevator providing access to all floors. There are facilities for wheelchairs, although access to some specific interactive installations may be limited.

You are in the cultural heart of the city; right next door you have the famous Mauritshuis and the historic Binnenhof. A walk along the Lange Voorhout boulevard beneath the linden trees is the perfect complement.

Do not miss the top floor, dedicated to interaction: there you can 'shrink' in the Ames Room and play with perspective. To understand the mathematical genius behind the art, using a good audio guide is almost essential.
